Hi All, looking at the PSKReporter.info stats, it appears that several testers are still running a version built from Joe's wsjtx_exp branch. These versions can be identified by the version number reported in "Help->About" which will be v1.6.1.
Because it may be a little confusing, here is a situation report that may clarify the position for some. The current general availability release (GA) is v1.5.0, this supersedes the prior release candidate (RC) beta releases v1.5.0-rc1 and v1.5.0-rc2. These v1.5 releases are all built from the wsjtx-1.5 branch which is now dormant unless a major issue needs to be fixed urgently. The current development code is in the wsjtx branch (a.k.a. trunk) and an application built from it will currently identify itself as v1.6.0-devel. In order to promote testing of the new WSPR features a Windows only alpha release of v1.6.0-devel was published on the WSPRnet.org web site. There are usually daily updates to the development code and stability is not guaranteed at any point in time. Despite this we welcome those who build and test the latest changes to give us feedback on quality and improvement suggestions. For a while Joe K1JT was adding VHF & up, EME and WSPR features to WSJT-X in an experimental branch of the source code. This was done to limit disruption while the v1.5 releases were being stabilized. The wsjtx_exp branch was set to identify as v1.6.1-devel in the expectation that it might rejoin the main development stream after v1.6.0 was released, also this identification served to differentiate from the main development branch. As the experimental work progressed successfully it was merged back into the debvelopment stream in two tranches for VHF, EME, JT65B&C and JT4 first and then later WSPR. The experimental branch is now dormant and lags behind the main development stream by many updates. So summarizing, if you are running a v1.6.1 version of WSJT-X, you are not running the latest code and we would appreciate testers and early adopters venturing into the less stable development code running the v1.6.0-devel version, updated and re-built reasonable regularly to keep up to date with developments. 73 Bill G4WJS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
